     9.  (a)  The Board of Directors may, if it deems it

a corporation or otherwise.  When considering whether to oppose
an offer, the Board of Directors may, but is not legally

on the power of the Board of Directors to oppose a tender or
other offer for this corporation's securities, the Board of
Directors may, but shall not be legally obligated to, consider
any or all of the following:

         (i)  Whether the offer price is acceptable based on
historical and present operating results or financial condition
of the corporation;

         (ii)  Whether a more favorable price could be obtained
for the corporation's securities in the future;

         (iii)  The impact which an acquisition of the
corporation would have on the employees, depositors and customers
of the corporation and its subsidiaries and the communities which
they serve;

         (iv)  The reputation and business practices of the
offeror and its management and affiliates as they would affect
the employees, depositors and customers of the corporation and
its subsidiaries and the future value of the corporation's stock;

<PAGE>

         (v)  The value of the securities (if any) which the
offeror is offering in exchange for the corporation's securities,
based on an analysis of the worth of the corporation as compared
to the corporation or other entity who securities are being
offered; and

         (vi)  Any antitrust or other legal and regulatory issues
that are raised by the offer.

         (b)  If the Board of Directors determines that an offer
should be rejected, it may take any lawful action to accomplish
its purpose, including, but not limited to, any or all of the
following:  advising shareholders not to accept the offer;
litigation against the offeror; filing complaints with all
governmental and regulatory authorities; acquiring the
corporation's securities; selling or otherwise issuing authorized
but unissued securities or treasury stock or granting options
with respect thereto; acquiring a company to create an antitrust
or other regulatory problem for the offeror; and obtaining a more
favorable offer from another individual or entity.

                    FIRST KEYSTONE CORPORATION
              DIRECTORS' CONSENT TO CORPORATE ACTION


     The undersigned, being all the directors of the above named
corporation, entitled to vote at a meeting thereof, do hereby
consent to the adoption of the following resolutions and to the
taking of the corporate action hereinafter specified as though
same had been adopted at a meeting the directors duly called and
convened, this consent being given pursuant to Section 402 of the
Business Corporation Law, as amended:

BE IT RESOLVED, that, in accordance with Section 1802 of the
Business Corporation Law, the Board of Directors approves,
adopts, ratifies and consents to an amendment to Article 5 of
this corporation's Articles of Incorporation to read as follows:

     5.  The aggregate number of shares which the corporation
     shall have authority to issue is:  Three Million
     (3,000,000) shares of Common Stock of the par value of Two
     Dollars ($2.00) per share (the "Common Stock") and Five
     Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of Preferred Stock of the
     par value of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per share (the "Preferred
     Stock") with a total authorized capital of Eleven Million
     Dollars ($11,000,000).

         The Preferred Stock of the corporation may, from time
     to time, be divided into and issued in one or more series
     of shares, each of which series shall be so designated as
     to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all
     other series.  All shares within any series of Preferred
     Stock shall be identical.  There may be variations between
     different series of Preferred Stock, namely, the rate of
     dividend, the right of redemption, and the price at, and
     the terms and conditions on, which shares may be redeemed,
     the amounts payable upon shares in event of voluntary or
     involuntary liquidation, sinking fund provisions for the
     redemption or purchase of shares, the right of conversion,
     and the terms and conditions on which shares may be
     converted in the event the shares of any series of
     Preferred Stock are issued with the privilege of
     conversion.  Different series of Preferred Stock shall not
     be construed to constitute different classes of shares for
     the purpose of voting by classes under the applicable laws
     of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

<PAGE>

         The Board of Directors of the corporation is hereby
     expressly vested with the authority, by resolution, from
     time to time to divide the Preferred Stock of the
     corporation into one or more  series as aforesaid, to fix
     and determine the variable relative rights and preferences
     of any series so established,  and to change redeemed or
     reacquired shares of any one series thereof into shares of
     another series.

and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors approves,
adopts, ratifies and consents to a new additional Article 10 of
the corporation's Articles of Incorporation to read as follows:

         10.  No holder of shares of any class or of any series
     of any class shall have any preemptive right to subscribe
     for, purchase or receive any shares of the corporation,
     whether now or hereafter authorized, or any obligations or
     other securities convertible into or carrying options or
     warrants to purchase any such shares of the corporation, or
     any options or rights to purchase any such shares or
     securities, issued or sold by the corporation for cash or
     any other form of consideration, and any such shares,
     securities, options, warrants or rights may be issued or
     disposed of by the Board of Directors to such persons and
     on such terms as the Board of Directors, in its discretion,
     shall deem advisable.

and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors, directs that
the two aforesaid amendments to the corporation's Articles of
Incorporation be submitted to the shareholders at the 1989 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 21, 1989 at 9:00
a.m., prevailing time, at the main office of The First National
Bank of Berwick, 111 West Front Street, Berwick, Pennsylvania,
18603; and

<PAGE>

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the proper officers of the
corporation are hereby directed, authorized and empowered to take

necessary, to effectuate the intent and purpose of the foregoing
resolutions.
